Design: The research was planned as a pretest, posttest, randomized controlled study in order to determine the effect of the motivational interviews on the life quality and physical activity of old patients. H1: After total knee replacement, the target for daily living activities is higher than the patients who applied the hand and those who did not. H2: Patients with targeted daily living activities with total knee replacement begin to get used to it and begin earlier than those who do not.
Mindfulness meditation was used to reduce stress and its responses such as cortisol and C-reactive protein (CRP) among healthy and ill individuals in various cultures, but their effects have not yet been studied among Jordanian nursing students, experienced tremendous stress. Thus, the purpose of study was to examine the effects of three of such intervention on perceived stress (MM) on Trait mindfulness, perceived stress, cortisol, and CRP in Jordanian nursing students. The hypothesis was " mindfulness meditation will improve trait mindfulness, perceived stress, serum cortisol and serum CRP. Using a Randomized controlled study conducted in a large university in Jordan, 108 nursing students were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups equally. The experimental group participated in 5 30-minute weekly sessions of mindfulness meditation. Trait mindfulness, perceived stress, serum cortisol, and CRP were measured at baseline and end of intervention.
Background and Aim: Pediatric gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy is an increasingly common procedure performed to investigate and diagnose problems in the GI tract in children. Procedures in pediatric endoscopy units are routinely performed under sedation and general anesthesia, unlike adult endoscopy. Nurses working in pediatric gastroenoscopy units where sedoanalgesia is applied have important duties and responsibilities in terms of quality standards in preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative periods. Considering the increasing need for high-quality pediatric endoscopy applications, the attitudes and behaviors of nurses about sedation in pediatric patients are important as a member of the team. There is almost no literature on the experience and awareness of pediatric endoscopy nurses in clinical practice, and this encourages our team to conduct a survey across our country and to develop knowledge and clinical practices. With this questionnaire survey, it was aimed to evaluate the experience and attitudes of the endoscopy nurses working in the pediatric endoscopy unit in our country on sedation/general anesthesia management for pediatric patients
The patients in the experimental group received the relevant knowledge education in the recovery period 30 minutes before anesthesia. The operation time, anesthesia time, cooperation degree score, total cooperation rate and patient satisfaction were observed and recorded. Results: there was no significant difference in operation time and anesthesia time between the experimental group and the control group (P < 0.05). The percentage of patients in the experimental group was 20.12% and 70.89% respectively, while that in the control group was 40.32% and 20.73% respectively (P < 0.05). The total cooperation rate was 95.00% in the experimental group and 77.00% in the control group. There was significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05). The satisfaction of patients in the experimental group was 95%. 65% of the patients in the control group were satisfied (P < 0.05). Conclusion: preoperative psychological intervention for patients with general anesthesia and endotracheal intubation can significantly reduce the restlessness and uncooperative phenomenon during extubation, and improve the cooperation rate and satisfaction of patients.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of simulation training in nurses and midwives on knowledge and self-efficacy regarding preeclamptic pregnancy care. It is an important step in providing safe care to patients, as a learning environment is provided in which environmental risks are minimized with simulation applications. Simulation-based trainings are environments that allow each student to learn, equitable, based on adult learning principles, and open to different learning styles. The interests and needs in these environments are defined together by the learner and the educator. By keeping the experiences of the learner at the forefront, the opportunity is given to learn by doing and supported with feedback. Preeclampsia is clinically defined as a blood pressure of 140/90 mmHg or above after the 20th week of pregnancy and the addition of proteinuria (300mg / 24 hours). It can develop in about 5-10% of all pregnancies. It is defined as a nulliparous disease since it is seen in approximately 85% of women during their first pregnancy. Preeclampsia constitutes 15% of the causes of maternal mortality in our country. In studies evaluating the effectiveness of simulation training in planning the follow-up and care of preeclampsia, it was determined that this method increases the knowledge and self-confidence of nurses. For example; Christian and Krumwiede's study they found that the self-efficacy rates were significantly higher in the post-simulation test. In his study, Olubumno investigated the importance of simulation in increasing the critical thinking of perinatology nurses in the care of preeclamptic pregnant women, he found that the pre-test and post-test scores increased by 0.75 points, and this difference between the scores is statistically significant. Tabatabaeian et al., In their study comparing the effects of simulation-based education, coeducation and theoretical education on the performance of midwives in preeclampsia and eclampsia, found that the mean of the simulation group was higher than the other two groups. Preeclampsia is an important obstetric emergency in women's health and disease nursing. Thus, when they start working in the clinic, it is aimed to be able to suspect preeclampsia with the anamnesis they received from the pregnant who applied to them, and to gain them with the simulation method what they should pay attention to and how to do in the follow-up of the pregnant woman hospitalized with the diagnosis of preeclampsia. Studies conducted in our country did not include studies involving students and healthcare professionals in the management of preeclampsia with simulation methods. Therefore, it is aimed to contribute to the literature with this study.
This randomized controlled study aimed to determine the effect of education on disease management on the quality of life, and anxiety and depression levels of women with Rheumatoid Arthritis. The hypotheses of the current study are as below: H0: Education on disease management in women with Rheumatoid Arthritis does not affect the quality of life and anxiety and depression levels. H1: Education on disease management in women with Rheumatoid Arthritis affects the quality of life and anxiety and depression levels. Patients and Methods: The study was conducted with 66 women with Rheumatoid Arthritis (32 intervention, 34 control groups) at the rheumatology clinic and polyclinic of a university hospital between February and October 2019, in the city of Edirne, Turkey. Data were collected with "Patient Information Form", "Rheumatoid Arthritis Quality of Life Scale", "Health Assessment Questionnaire" and "Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale".
Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of multimodal interventions based on Integrative Nursing (IN) principles on blood pressure, stress, and hypertensive treatment compliance levels in individuals living in the community and with uncontrolled hypertension. Design: This is a single-center, 1:1 randomized, single-blind, parallel, active comparator trial. Method: Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials (SPIRIT) Statement 2013 checklist is used in this study. In the study, the group in which Integrative Nursing Principles-Based Multimodal Interventions were applied (UHTINuM) was taken as the experimental (n: 24), the group in which health recommendations were given as the active comparator group (n: 24). The sample size calculated according to the reference study data is 62. However, this target number could not be reached due to the COVID-19 pandemic conditions. This study was carried out with adult individuals aged 50-65 in Hayat Park, which is located within the borders of Konyaaltı District of Antalya province. Multimodal interventions including 12-week meditation and breathing techniques, yoga, hypertension treatment compliance training, and home blood pressure measurement training were applied to the UHTINuM group. The control group was directed to a specialist doctor as an intervention, information notes for hypertensive individuals and standard brochures prepared by the Ministry of Health were given. The primary results of the study were measured using an aneroid and automatic blood pressure device (blood pressure measurement), Hill Bone Hypertension Treatment Adherence Scale, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). This will be the first study to evaluate the effect of multimodal interventions based on integrative nursing principles in uncontrolled hypertensives. If the hypotheses of the study are reached, it is expected that the planned intervention protocol will be used by other researchers and thus become widespread in the literature. Also, the results will help contribute to the provision of care in terms of IN.
Tineapedis is an important health problem. Providing foot care in tinea pedis treatment contributes positively to the treatment. In addition, alternative treatments can also be used. In this study, the randomization study group will be divided into three. Medical treatment and foot care training will be applied to the first group, medical treatment and propolis to the second group, medical treatment and plassebo to the control group. Foot care training will be given by nurse coaching. Times of all three groups and their response to treatment will be evaluated.
The purpose of this randomized controlled pilot study is to test whether an in-hospital nurse-led smoking cessation intervention increases the refferal rate to healty life-centers in the municipalities. We will also describe the proportion who succeed in quitting smoking between the intervention group and the control group and obtain new knowledge about the patient and system factors of importance for participation to healty life-centers and for successful and unsuccessful smoking cessation.
European countries faced another wave of the SARS-CoV2 pandemic, which has led to a second lockdown in France in November 2020 in order to avoid overwhelming health services. To prevent or reduce another wave, the strategy calls for vaccination, maintaining barrier measures and testing and isolating infected persons in order to break the cycles of infection. The latter objective is made difficult by the existence of asymptomatic carriers or symptomatic carriers that have very few symptoms and that aren't tested. Identification of these carriers in the general population is usually based on a search for close contact persons from those who were tested positive or from identified clusters. Experiments of mass testing are being carried out or were carried out, for example in Liverpool or Slovakia but, in order for them to be effective, they must be repeated, which limits feasibility. Another strategy of wide screening in the general population to identify asymptomatic persons is to offer a systematic screening during medical consultations and particularly in the emergency departments (ED). This strategy grants access to the entire population attending health facilities, including persons with lower income. This strategy can be conducted continuously in order to: 1) contribute to controlling the epidemic by identifying and isolating asymptomatic persons and their close contacts; 2) provide an observatory on the evolution of viral circulation in the general population. To the best the knowledge, this strategy has not been evaluated and will be tested it in 18 emergency departments in the Paris Metropolitan area, one of the most SARS-CoV2 affected regions. The aim is to evaluate the benefit of a systematic offer of SARS-Cov2 screening by rapid testing (molecular multiplex PCR/ RT-LAMP) to identify infected persons, associated with the usual practice of the EDs (intervention strategy) compared to a period based on usual practice of the EDs (control strategy) The strategies will be compared during two periods following a cluster-randomized two-period crossover design. During intervention periods, nurses will suggest performing a SARS-CoV2 test to patients using a PCR multiplex for symptomatic patients and a RT-LAMP for asymptomatic patients.
